I am currently researching the events of 12th June 1942 and the death of my Great Uncle, Sergeant Albert Joseph Young W.Op/AG RAF.

Albert was a member of 114 Squadron, based at West Raynham and was killed in a Luftwaffe Bombing Raid on Kings Lynn on 12th June 1942. He was celebrating a colleagues birthday when the pub that he was in (The Eagle) was bombed. He and 41 others were killed.

I am trying to find out some more information on the attack. I have a great deal of information from his and his colleagues perspective, but not much from the side of the Luftwaffe, in particular the actual target of the mission. I was wondering if any Luftwaffe Records from the period existed?

I believe the attack was conducted by a Kampfgeschwader 2; Dornier 17 or 217E.

Can anyone help? Many Thanks

William Snuggs
